Bayshore Retreat Addiction Treatment Center - Destin, Florida

By far the best place to get sober! They provide an individualized and personalized approach to addressing root causes of the addiction not just break you down and turn you into a robot. They do it in a humane way, unlike the other places. At Bayshore you feel safe and cared for, it proves smaller is better. You will get to do various activities and dining out like they advertise, no false advertisements like the other places. Food is fantastic and facilities are gorgeous. Staff is the best, I have known the doctors for decades and they are awesome and trustworthy! You will be happy here and YOU WILL GET BETTER!!!!

Bayshore Retreat has been a wonderful place for myself and the hospitality here has been second to none. The staff and the counselors sincerely care for each client and I could not have picked a better place to start my sobriety. Apart from the daily counseling and life skills program, the food and activities were a major plus! I would highly recommend Bayshore to anyone seeking sobriety. This place has really impacted and changed my life.

This was quite possibly the best decision I ever made to go to Bayshore. It changed my life! Where do I start, oh yes the food. Chef Mark is extremely talented. I ate better there for 30 days than I have my 30+ years of existence. It was like eating at a 5 star restaurant 3 times a day. The entire staff was absolutely incredible as well, from the co-owner Judy for making my initial call warm and inviting, to other co-owner Megan for working so hard with my insurance company to get it covered, for providing us with a safe and peaceful retreat, and for going above and beyond to accommodate our needs during our stay.

All of the employees were kind, accommodating and were very knowledgeable about the process and how to teach the things I needed to be successful. Kevin and Reina were especially awesome. You could tell they cared about their jobs and cared about us clients. Reina is naturally a caring and compassionate person. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was productive and a learning experience. Kevin was Mr. Fun, he showed us some incredible experiences and activities. He also went above and beyond to ensure I got what I needed from the stay. The counselor Stephanie was amazing as well. She really took time to dive deep in to the issues and gave amazing solutions and a set of goals to follow for success. She wasn’t judgmental at all, was very encouraging, is extremely knowledgeable about her profession and could also tell that she cared about my success in the program.

The facility is unbelievable as well. It’s waterfront in beautiful Destin. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was a chef’s dream, the pool was extremely refreshing and their gym is what really motivated me to stay on course and get my life together as well. They have a dock that you can go down and fish from, I caught several fish while there. The other clients and employees became almost like a second family to me and it was truly a one-of-a-kind experience to show me how to thrive in sobriety. It doesn’t stop when you leave either. They call and check on you often and the co-owner Megan continued to fight with my insurance until the very end, well after my stay, to ensure they covered what they needed to cover for my stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their lives back!

Bayshore is absolutely amazing. They take a holistic approach to bringing sobriety into your everyday life. The on-site chef creates incredible and healthy dishes to help you enjoy your new life of sobriety. They promote exercising daily, provide ample education and support, the counselors and staff are absolutely amazing, and having a smaller group of only 6 or less allows them to show genuine care and support to each client. I fully recommend this facility. It is very comfortable, friendly, thorough, and affordable (you could pay the same price down the street and get eggs out of a carton or slop Sunday). It's worth the investment to better your or a loved one's life.

Every addict has their own path to and through recovery. Treatment doesn’t always provide a fix-all for every person. My personal journey led me to Bayshore three times (and it wasn’t my first trip to treatment). This is hands-down the most comprehensive, immersive and compassionate program for those who struggle with drugs and alcohol. The house is beautifully appointed, the chef is absolutely amazing, and the peace and motivation I felt while in attendance is the most gracious I’ve experienced. I still communicate regularly with fellow clients and staff. I am now 19 months sober (after several near-death hospitalizations) and have the tools I learned at Bayshore to thank for my sobriety! Love love love these people and what they do!!

Bayshore Retreat is an amazing place! It is unlike any other treatment center I have ever been to.. The staff that is there genuinely cares about each and every person that walks through those doors and the program is tailored to each individual person, and the program molds to the person, as opposed to the other way around. The daily group therapy sessions are led by different counselors that are from various walks of life and all have different backgrounds which is nice. It gives each client a chance to gain a different perspective about their recovery. Another good thing about Bayshore is that on the weekends, they have activities that the clients do together such as going to the beach, boat rides, bowling, swimming in the pool/hot tub, etc and then on Saturday nights they take you to dinner somewhere in town. Last but not least, Mark, the personal chef, is simply outstanding!

I looked at a few other places before making my decision to come to Bayshore and I am extremely pleased with the choice I made. The staff is super supportive and genuinely care about you, the house is immaculate, and the food is DELICIOUS. My counselor, Stephanie was amazing! I am so grateful for all the love and guidance I received here.

The staff at Bayshore Retreat are the most friendly and caring people I have ever met at a treatment facility. I have been to five previous treatment centers and none of the others ever catered to my needs the way Bayshore has. I have had problems with ADHD and never had the time to go get tested. They scheduled me an appointment with a psychologist and brought me to get tested within a day. There was also a time when I needed dental work done and also scheduled me and appointment and brought me back an forth to the facility. I have not been to one place that would have done that for me. At previous treatment centers I have had to mold into their program but here at Bayshore they mold to us, the clients. The time I spent at Bayshore was one of the top life experiences I have ever had. Thank you Bayshore for showing me a new and better way of living.
